THE CRISIS IN FRANCE.

The crisis some weeks impending in the
French Cabinet has been reached, the
Rouvier Ministry has rendered its resigna-
ton TO President Grevy and advised him
to call Clemenceau to the task of forming
new Cabinet. The event cannot be looked
upon as otherwise than unfortunate for
France, but it is not so dangerous as may
be thought. These many changes in the
Ministry are intended by the enemies of
the Republic to shake the faith of the
peoplc in constitutional government, and
to weary them into acceptance OF mon
archial system. The extremists will, how
ever, probably be again disappointed.
Clemenceau is not likely to deal into their
hands as they expect. The new Minister
has. with all his nervousness, not given
reason to believe that he is untrue to the
Republican faith. If he forms Ministry
il viii be one that will conserve the peace
OF the country Grevy will accept no other
at his hands.
Rouvier and his colleagues have done
well for France and strengthened it more
than any Cabinet that has been called in
the last five years. 1t goes out not under
cloud due to any mistakes affecting the
supremacy of the Republic Or the dignity
of France abroad It's sources of trouble
have been confined mainly to Paris, which
IS controlled in its sentiments by men who
are constantly plotting for the overthrow
of the Republic and the return of mon.
arch with all the state, and glitter, and
lavish display and expenditure of royal
court. The scandal involving the Presi.
dents son-in-law has been made the most
Of by these foes to free government, and no
point of assault upon the President because
of 1t has been neglected.
Outside of Paris, and throughout rural
France the Republic has its real support.
President Grevy knows this and is I'M
likely to crafty the Monarchists by sur
rendering his Office, an act that would
involve riot and disorder in Paris and
that might possibly extend to some of the
larger cities. Ferdinand Fan, an accented
good authority, assures the country that
the President will not resign; that he will
not set the dangerous precedent of the Ex.
ecutive retiring whenever the Chambe,
votes down the Ministry The hope of the
people of France in the present is in the
frmness of their Executive. He has
heretofore demonstrated his devotion to q
republican form of government, and there
Is no reason to believe that he will aban.
don 1t now at the command of a legisla.
tive branch, than which there is no more
whimsical, vacillating and ill-composed
deliberative body in the world. So long
as Grevy remains President, with the
power to call upon rural France to Justify
his Administration at the polls, the Re
public Is secure against the machination;
of the Royalists and the weakness of Dep
uties sent up from the centers of popula
ton, and chicane, which breed conspir.
acv discomfort and revolt.

completion of this new trunk line, and it is
eminently fitting that it should be COM

HE Governor, in his letter declining
to commute the sentence of Santa Clara
murderer, expressed some sound truths, in
dicating that he viii not fayorably regard
petitions for executive clemency signed by
Judges and jurors who try men for murder
and condemn them to the gallows. 1t has
become almost farcical, this trifing with
verdiets by the men who make them. Let
Judges and jurors weigh well their respon-
sibility, and, having determined the de-
mand of justice, let them stand to It. Fl iifa
disposition to put the onus upon the Ex-
ecutive of deciding the fate of the offenders
after conviction needs to be checked, and
the Governor has plainly said that he will
do his part toward putting an emf to it.

ELASTIC GUN WADDING.

yIyHE undersigned begs leave to call attention
to the MERINO ELASTIC FELT GUN
WADDING, the only perfectly safe waddlng for
choke-bore breech- loading shot guns. by the
use of this wad the recoi ofa gun is lessened the
distribution of the shot is more regular, and the
range and penetration are greater. Another ad-
vantage is that the gun is kept cleaner Imam
when any other wad is used. Try them. They
are put up in boxes holding 256 wads and are
made in two grades. The price for the first grade
is forty cents per box the second grade twenty
five cents. The first grade should be used over
the powder-the second grade over the shot.
The first grade wads are from one-half to three
eiehts of an inch in thickness, which makes them
cheaper than any other wad in the market, as
only one of the first grade wads is necessary on
the powder, and one Of the second grade over
the shot, to give the best results. If you use Il
II gauge gun with brass shells, buy No. . wads
For paper shells use No. IL wads. For guns OF
different gauge, for brass shells, use wad three
sizes larger than the bore; for paper shells, one
size larger. BY this means the gases from the
powder will be perfectly confined and the very
best results obtained.
Sample boxes will be sent by mail on receipt
of FORTY cents for the first grade, and twenty-five
cents for the second grade. Address,

DIVINE CONCEALMENT.

| When some of the Sioux Indian chiefs
were invited to go to Washington and Wis
it President Grant, one of them, known
as "Spotted TAIL" hesitated abort going
for the following reason He said that il
he went he should probably see many
things which would be new to him, and
when he returned his friends would ask
him what he had seen on his journey. II
he told them the whole story, they would
listen for while, and then leave his lodge
one after another, saying: Spotted Tail
er's kingdom the white men he has seen
have made Jad medicine for him." Thus
he feared he might lose his chieftainship
and his influence among the Sioux.
The fear of this chief was not altogether
without foundation. 1t is related that a
certain young Indian once made such a
visit, and witnessed the wonders OF civil
ization, and on his return to his tribe, they
listened to his wonderful tales, until he
told them he bad seen white man take
basket and fasten it to a big ball, and get
in to it and fly up in the air; when an old
Indian, concluding that man who could lie
like that had lived long enough, leveled
his gun and shot him through the heart.
1t is sometimes pretty serious business
for man to undertake to tell all he knows.
There are men who will not believe any.
thing unless they can understand it, and
the more marvellous the tales they hear,
the greater liars the narrators are supposed
to be- Many skeptic is as certain that
Christians are lying to him, as was this
old Indian, when he heard the young chief
talking about men hitching themselves to
q balloon and flying up into the sky. They
do not believe his story, for the simple rea-
son that they do not know enough to be-
lieve the truth upon this subject. Hence,
at times, even truth must be withheld from
such persons, because they are not in flt
condition to receive or appreciate it. The
pearls must not be cast before swine, nor
the holy things given to the dogs.
The fears of the wise chief were not re-
allied. He made the visit to Washington
saw the sights and wonders, and on his re-
turn was, so careful and prudent in his
statements that his influence was increased
rather than diminished. He was the firm
friend of both indians and whites, and
was finally selected as the supreme ruler
of his tribe.-Rc!iyi0us Paper.
